For flooring retailers and showrooms

Flooring store automation that books more measures.

Most flooring stores do not have a lead problem. They have a follow-up problem. We build the automations that answer every enquiry in under a minute, book the measure, chase every estimate and ask every happy customer for a review.

The real problem

Where flooring sales quietly leak.

These are the gaps we see in almost every flooring showroom we audit. None of them are caused by lazy staff. They are caused by busy staff.

Calls ring out while you are with a customer

The one salesperson on the floor is helping a walk-in, the phone rings, and the caller dials the next store on Google Maps.

Web leads wait until the end of the day

Form fills and Facebook leads land in an inbox nobody owns. By the time someone calls back, the homeowner has already booked a measure elsewhere.

Estimates go out and nobody chases them

The quote is sent after the measure. Then the sales team gets busy, and a job that was 80 percent closed goes cold.

Measure appointments fall through

No confirmation, no reminder, nobody home. That is a wasted afternoon and a tank of fuel for your estimator.

Happy customers never leave reviews

You did great work, the customer loved it, and nobody asked for a review at the moment it mattered.

The same details get typed three times

Name, address, room sizes and product picks get retyped between the website, the CRM, the estimate and the install schedule.

Why this matters

The first store to respond usually wins.

Homeowners shop around. Speed and follow-up decide who gets the measure.

Flooring is a considered purchase. According to the 2026 State of the Retail Flooring Industry report from WFCA and Floorzap, which surveyed more than 1,300 homeowners, 71 percent contacted two or more retailers before buying, and 42 percent spent between one and four weeks researching. That means almost every lead you get is also talking to at least one competitor.

The same report found that 58 percent of retailers convert more than 30 percent of their inquiries. Flooring leads are high intent. The homeowner already wants new floors. The real question is who responds first, who makes booking the measure easy, and who is still following up in week three when the homeowner finally decides.

Research published in Harvard Business Review found that companies that contacted a web lead within an hour were about seven times more likely to have a meaningful conversation with a decision maker than companies that waited even one hour longer. In most showrooms, that first hour is exactly when nobody is free to call back.

Flooring store automation fixes this without adding headcount. Every enquiry gets a fast, personal reply. Booking a measure becomes a two-tap job for the homeowner. Every estimate gets a friendly, consistent follow-up sequence. And your team only steps in when a real conversation is needed.

What we automate

The Veloq system for flooring stores.

Instant lead response

Every web form, Facebook, Google and Houzz lead gets a personal SMS and email within 60 seconds, with a link to book a free in-home measure.

AI receptionist

Answers every call you miss, asks about rooms, product and timeline, books the measure into your calendar and texts your team a summary.

Measure to estimate

Measurements and product selections flow from your measure app into a branded estimate, so nothing is retyped.

Estimate follow-up

A friendly sequence on day 1, 3, 7 and 14 that answers common objections, mentions financing and asks one simple question: are you still planning the project?

Install scheduling and reminders

Prep instructions, furniture moving reminders and install day confirmations go out automatically. Installers get the job details on their phone.

Review engine

Three days after install, happy customers get a direct link to your Google profile. Anyone unhappy reaches you privately first.

How it works

From first enquiry to five-star review.

  1. Lead arrivesA homeowner fills in your quote form at 9:40 pm. Within a minute they get a text thanking them by name, confirming the room and product they asked about, and offering measure times.
  2. Measure is bookedThey pick Thursday at 10 am. It lands in your estimator’s calendar with the address, rooms and notes. Confirmation and reminder texts go out automatically.
  3. Estimate is sentAfter the measure, the estimate is built from the measure data and sent the same day, with financing options and a link to approve.
  4. Follow-up runsNo reply? The system follows up with helpful messages over two weeks. The moment they reply, your salesperson is notified and the sequence stops.
  5. Install is coordinatedOnce they approve, the install date, deposit reminder and prep checklist go out. Your installer gets the job sheet the day before.
  6. Review is requestedThree days after install, a short message asks how it went. Happy customers are sent straight to Google. Concerns come straight to you.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

It is a set of connected workflows that handle the repetitive parts of selling flooring: replying to new leads, booking measures, sending estimate follow-ups, confirming installs and requesting reviews. Your team handles the conversations. The system handles the chasing.

No. We connect to the software you already use and automate around it. Your POS, inventory and accounting stay exactly where they are.

Usually within 60 seconds, any time of day. The first message is personal, references what they asked about and offers a way to book a measure.

Yes. It checks real availability, books the appointment, sends the homeowner a confirmation and sends your team a summary of the call.

Messages are written in your voice and sound like a helpful person on your team. The AI receptionist can say it is a virtual assistant, and it hands over to a human whenever the caller asks or the question needs one.

A focused first automation, such as instant lead response, is typically live within a couple of weeks. Larger systems are rolled out in phases so you see results early.

Every project gets a fixed-scope quote after a free call, so you know the full cost before any work starts. Some tools such as SMS and AI calling have small usage fees that we estimate upfront.
